    I found an easier way to change the sidebar widget’s “Welcome” to whatever you want.

    DIRECTIONS

    1.) In your WordPress install go to the folder: wordpress/wp-content/plugins/theme-my-login/includes/
    2.) Open the file: class-theme-my-login-template.php
    3.) Locate the word “Welcome” and replace it with whatever greeting you’d like. For example, replace “Welcome” with “Hello”.
    4.) Save the edited class-theme-my-login-template.php document to wordpress/wp-content/plugins/theme-my-login/includes/
    6.) Refresh the page. Now, instead of “Welcome” it should have “Hello” or whatever you put as your personal greeting.

    I would never recommend modifying core files. What happens when you update the plugin? You lose the changes. This is why I’ve provided numerous hooks throughout the plugin, in order to customize it properly.

    Ah, okay. Thanks for the advice.

    So what is the best way to change the “Welcome” greeting? One that will stay put when you update the plugin?

    Create wp-content/plugins/theme-my-login-custom.php and add the following to it:

    <?php

function tml_title( $title, $action ) {
	if ( is_user_logged_in() )
		$title = 'YOUR NEW MESSAGE';
	return $title;
}
add_filter( 'tml_title', 'tml_title', 10, 2 );
